Well I made an ugly script, (50 lines), but it works.
Ill have to investigate on simplifying it, along with implementing absolute 
time with find, as that would eliminate me from using tar to get the newest 
files.
But the find commands that I used were ->

# Blatantly remove CVS directories
find -d ./ -type d -regex '.*/CVS' -exec rm -rf {} \;

# Remove empty directories
find -d ./ -type d -exec rmdir {} \;

So Im good for now.
Thanks
